Sverige er på vagt efter advarsler om, at Ruslands præsident, Vladimir Putin, har sin interesse rettet mod øen Gotland i Østersøen.
Ruslands leder, Vladimir Putin, har sin opmærksomhed rettet mod den svenske ø Gotland, advarer Sveriges forsvarschef Micael Bydén. Øen Gotland, Sveriges største ø, ligger strategisk placeret i Østersøen og er et nøglepunkt for kontrollen over Østersøen. Bydén bekymrer sig om, at Putin ønsker at udvide sin indflydelse i regionen ved at få kontrol over Gotland. En russisk forsvarsministerie dokument antyder også, at Rusland ønsker at ændre sine maritime grænser i Østersøen, hvilket vil påvirke flere NATO-lande.
Den svenske forsvarschef Micael Bydén mener, at Kreml's leder, Vladimir Putin, har sat sine øjne på Gotland og advarer om en mulig trussel mod de nordiske og baltiske allierede, hvis Rusland skulle invadere øen. Forsvarschefen er bekymret for Putins ønske om at kontrollere Østersøen fra Gotland.
Det voksende NATO-bekymring over Putins interesset for Østersøen ledsages af opfordringer til besindighed i Finland og de baltiske stater efter en russisk udkast-dekret foreslår en revision af deres grænser i Østersøen.
